Dorkalitis, that's a new one; from the noun 'Dorkis' ? No you won't be left in a mangled bloody heap on the side of the road by not paying your registration. In fact I'm happy to contribute to your repair/rehabilitation by paying my ACC levies whether you do or not. Sorry you don't feel the same way.
No to 'user pays', yes to a public accident compensation scheme which has been undermined already, don't want to give them any more excuses by not paying up. If I was ever to have a serious accident I'd get way more out of it than I could ever put in.
Fuck yeah. Glad I'm not self-employed, that must really suck. Any idea how long I've paid my house insurance and never once had it fall down? Sucks.
Amen to that.

Choice, what a good cunt.
I am a proud rider of two unlicensed motorcycles.
I license one vehicle,my car.
On the argument that ACC gave us on why cyclists do not need to license their bikes: i.e. they also have cars that they pay ACC levies on,I feel I'm doing ok .
How can ACC argue against this?
P.S. I also pay ACC work levies
Every time I get stopped by a member of the constabulary wanting to check my registration, I shall think kind thoughts of you lovely people.

Coming soon to a NZ near you. All the constabulary will have to do is drive their car. Their apparatus will scan your plate and issue the fine without correspondance. So will every traffic camera, red light camera, speed camera and monitoring camera.
The system is so well automated that they have done away with rego stickers over here. The cameras do it all. Won't be long to reach over there (it's revenue dontchaknow) and the tax dodgers will just get the envelope in the post.
I forgot bus lane cameras
